09:11 <dagle> Hmmm. I had a funny thing happen where firefox created a popup asking for permission and clicking ok/cancel or trying to close it didn't don anything until I refocused the main window. The windows lived on different workspaces.

09:14 <ifreund> dagle: that does seem strange indeed, if you can find a way to reproduce it feel free to open an issue and I'll take a look

09:14 <ifreund> could very well be a firefox bug though tbh

09:18 <dagle> ifreund: Yeah I'm pretty sure it is firefox/gtk related and the fact that the popup was on another workspace and the main window wasn't showing.

09:18 <Guest3346> hello. do global keybindings work on river?

09:19 <dagle> I don't even know how I managed to trigger a popup in firefox while being on another workspace.

09:20 <ifreund> Guest3346: river lets you create modal keybindings, I don't understand what exactly you are asking

09:24 <Guest3346> not modal, i mean global. some programs can have keybindings and they work even if the program isnt focused. well it works in xorg. i know it doesnt work in sway. they say it works in hyprland but i havent figured out hyprland configuration yet.

09:27 <ifreund> Guest3346: no, river does not allow arbitrary programs to preform keylogging

09:27 <dagle> In hyprland they have something called pass binding that lets any program create a binding in the compositor for that key.

09:28 <ifreund> Guest3346: if said programs have some way to programatically interact with them you can of course make a normal river keybinding to run a script to do whatever

09:30 <Guest3346> not keylogging just bindings. but okay, i guess not. if it was possible, we wouldnt have a misunderstanding probably. with programatically interacting you mean the running program reacts to shell commands instead of keys? ill look up if that can be done. thanks

09:31 <dagle> ifreund: I think it can be done in a safe way. Like (pseudo syntax) river map global+identifier key. This is how hyprland lets you do it and I don't think it's that unsafe.

09:31 <dagle> Where identifier is the program you would like to be able to bind keys.

09:32 <dagle> I'm no big fan of it though.

09:32 <ifreund> dagle: there is a global shortcuts wayland protocol that turns this in to a compositor UX problem yeah, I don't really have any plans to implement it though

09:35 <dagle> I think the global keybindings overall isn't a great idea. We have rpc and other stuff, do we really need this? But as a user it might suck if you are stuck with something that forces you to work with global keybindings.

09:38 <ifreund> yeah, I have some sympathy for users that just want to make crappy, possibly proprietary software less crappy to use

09:38 <ifreund> It's nowhere near the top of my priority list though

09:39 <ifreund> this kind of thing is where an message bus like dbus is the right solution IMO

10:41 <novakane> Nosrep: I couldn't reproduce your problem, I don't really see what could cause that

12:22 <Nosrep> yeah its weird ill do some testing myself later

12:46 <leon-p> mini-PSA: probably don't update to Mesa 23.1.0, on my system it broke all GPU rendering

12:47 <leon-p> at least it was a funny fail

12:47 <leon-p> probably some buffer size got messed up

12:47 <leon-p> so everything turned to bar codes: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/110/426/303/442/281/710/original/42c1a4dfc838a93f.png

12:49 <leon-p> the /really/ fun thing: while my entire desktop was spagettified, I took some screenshots to see whether they would also be messed up. They are. But in a different pattern!

12:51 <ifreund> I love the failure modes of GPU magic xD

18:14 <Nosrep> anyone reported it? might be gpu specific
